From phantom islands, via artificial landscapes, monetization of nature, substituting resources, to red tents, each work represents a distinct and thought-provoking perspective on the field, to reflect the realities of contemporary practice. 

“The Relative Size of Things in a Landscape” alludes to the Eames' famous short film, "Powers of Ten". A film which explores the relative scale of the universe in factors of ten, both in terms of distance and size. The title suggests that visitors can expect to see works that challenge their relationship to the environment around them. This includes pieces that explore the interplay between the micro and macro levels of reality, or that comment on the relationship between humanity and the natural world.
